we have food at home.
~ingredients:
- 8 oz white fish (using swai in this recipe)
- 1 tsp shaoxing wine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 green onion (sliced)
- 1 cup neutral oil for frying
~sauce ingredients
- 1 can cream corn
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 white onion (minced) (or shallot)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp corn starch
- sesame oil
~instructions:
- Pat dry your fish and slice into 2 inch pieces. Place into a bowl.
- To the fish, add shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, egg, and cornstarch. Mix together with your hands, making sure each piece is coated with the mixture. Set aside.
- While the fish marinates, mince the garlic and onion (or shallot).
- Heat up a wok on high heat, with oil to 350F. Once hot, add the fish into the oil and fry 3 minutes, before flipping and frying another 3 minutes. End result will be a golden crust. Remove and set aside over a wire rack or plate lined with a paper towel.
- Pour out any excess oil into a heat-safe bowl, this can be reused in future cooking.
- In the same wok, add back a tbsp of oil.
- Throw in the minced garlic and shallot to toast for 30 seconds. Then, add the can of cream corn, water, chicken bouillon, and white pepper.
- Simmer the sauce and in a separate bowl, mix together 1 tsp corn starch with 1 tbsp of water to make a corn starch slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the corn mixture and mix until thickened. Turn off the fire and top with sesame oil and green onion.
- To serve, plate your rice and fried fish, then top with the cream corn sauce. Enjoy!
